SAUNDBRSON STIRS UP CELTIC
BLOOD IN THE COMMONS.


LONDON, April 15-Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, resuming the debate on the coer-
cion bill in the House of Commons to-day,
twitted Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr.
Chamberlain with having secretly consulted
Mr.. Parnell, seeking to make an alliance
with him for their own purposes. The spirit
in which the government would administer
the coercion act, if it Were passed, was sutii-
GENTLY shown in the appointment of Col
King Harmon to the Parliamentary Under
Secretaryship for Ireland. The bill would fail
to suppress the Irish National League, be-
cause the people of Ireland believed in
the league and trusted it. The effect
of the enforcement of the bill
would be to make the government more
detested and the league more popular than
ever. As to the Tory and Liberal Union
tauntS about American gold fostering Irish
discomfort, Sir William said "There are
none who have less reason to complain of
American gold than the Irish landlords, for
none get more of it, They get it through
their poor tenants rents. If the govern
ment earnestly desired to maintain the
union let them abandon the policy exasper-
ating the Irish people and adopt policy of
justice and cOnciliatiOn." " [Cheers.l
SAUNDERSoN'S wHOPPER.
Mai. Saunderson, Conservative, said the
National League was supported mainly by
criminals dynamiters and murderers
across the Atlantic. He did not charge the
gentlemen opposite with imbuing their
hands in blood, but he did charge them
with associating with men whom they knew
to be murdcrers.
Mr.. Healy said that if Mai. Saunderson
al l,
ing Maj. SaundersOn was a liar. This re-
mark was greeted with rousing ParneIlites
cheers. The Speaker called upon Mr.. Healy
to withdraw his expression.
Mr.. Healy replied: Il am not entitled to
rise until you sit down." when the cheering
was renewed.
HEALY DEFIANT.
The Speaker then resumed the chair, and
Mr.. Healy again took the floor. He said:
II am only able to meet the charge in one
way. If you rule that Mai Saunderson
was in order my expression was equally in
order. If you rule him out of order | shall
withdraw my expression
The Speaker-That is not so. Mr.. Saum-
derson made a charge of the gravest nature
The responsibility rests entirely with him
self. 1t is his duty to- prove it if he can
[cheersl, but l cannot allow the expression
you used
HEALY SUSPENDED.
Mr. Healy repeated that Maj. Saunderson
was a liar. A great uproar arose The
Speaker again called upon Mr.. Healy to
withdraw. Mr.. Hea1y refused The
Speaker thereupon named him. and w. H.
Smith, First Lord of the Treasury, moved
that Mr.. Healy be suspended.
Mr.. Redmond jumped up and shouted: 81
say he is liar, toe"
The House divided on the motion to sus-
pend Mr. Healy, and the motion was carried
by vote Of lis to 80. When the vote was
announced Mr. Healy walked out of the
House, applauded by all the Parnellites,
who stood up waving their hats and raising
cheer after cheer.

waving their hats in the air. As soon rs
there was a chance to be heard Mr. Sexton,
again addressing Maj Saundelson, ex-
claimed: "If | only met you outside the
door OF this house would thrash YOU within
an inch of your life" The excitement was
again renewed.
PEEL's OLIVE BRANCH
The Speaker arose and addressed the
House, but his voice was naudible above the
din. When quiet had been somewhat re
stored the Speaker said that unless Mr.. Sex
ton withdrew his expression he would be
compelled to name him. He appealed TO the
House to assist him in his duty, adding that
he was willing TO do anything in his power
TO allay the bad feeling. [Cheersl The
